Ok
That time is a little slow for the mph though.
Maybe half a second too slow. Although that may be a turbo thing. |

Would need to ask him though ... he is on here now ... boostlover is his username.
I think keeping the car in a straight-line off launch ... and keeping traction is a tad hard ... for a light car .. might have babied the start as well .... as last time he raced he blew his transfer case to bits as well. |

yeah simon you are right, i did baby it off the line.
the following factors i have to take into consideration.
the tyres are still standard falken street tyres
the drive train cant cope with the abuse until a bit of funds are poured into it, and the best 60 foot i have done to date is 1.58. so in order to make the drivetrain last, i have to baby the 60 footers.
Epitome, without knowing your setup, im sure you are running an auto, where as i am running a manual transmission. if an auto were to be adapted, 9's are an easy task, with the use of the standard tyres still... |

| you know guys its great that everyone logs in there info on 1/4 times and what you got to do to achive these times, makes me wonder how these journes gat there 1/4 times for publications for there vehicles. I went out last wednesday WSID in my ef xr6 auto 16 was my best time for the fist time out s**t theres a lot more involved than meets the eye. its a real eye opener. I've gotton the bug now more practice and maybe lower times. Keeping fingers x |

1. EF XR8, 4 spd auto, 3.7 diff, Vortech V2 blower, standard motor bar 75mm throttle body, cobra manifold.
2. Car around 1600kg, me about 150 kg's
3. around 300 rwhp
4. Driving skill around 7/10, could use a bit more with the shifting. Take offs were touch and go with traction.
5. Perth Motorplex, cold clear night, air temp in the high teens and getting colder.
6. Bf goodrich 235 40 r17
7. 13.9 @ 96 mph.
8. 2.1 60ft.
I reckon i could get a couple of tenths in it, drag season is over in the west. Had probs with car not shifting at 5500rpm, all sorted now, a few more tenths in it, a 13.7 i would think. |

Yeah it is. The drive line is a 466 cube Big Block Ford, Allfast 5200rpm converter, Full manual trans braked C6 by Top Quality Transmissions and a Sommers Bros 9".
We're running high 8's and its making a lazy 600hp. It has more in it yet. Once we strengthen up the bottom end some more, we'll be able to rev past the self imposed 7500rpm limit. The cam is good for 8000rpm. Then we should see 700-750hp and mid 8's. |
